Abstract
To study the aspects of citation of the Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology and the requirement and utilization of literatures by the scientists working in the field of ophthalmology. The citation analysis was used to analyze the references cited in the 926 articles published in the Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology from 2001 to 2004. The citation rate was 91.79% and there were 8.05 citations per article. Citations from journals and books accounted for 91.97% and 7.85% of all citations, respectively. The Price Index was 35.50% and the self-citation rate was 8.40%. The citations from the high-ranked 17 journals accounted for 54.03% of all citations. The articles cited by papers published in the Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology cover a wide variety of journals. Most citations came from the English journals. The half-citing life is relatively longer and the Price Index is relatively low. It indicates that the authors' ability for using the recently published articles should be improved.
